Directions:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the our and the yeast and whisk
together.
2. With a paddle attachment, add the wet ingredients until a soft, smooth
sponge is formed. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let proof for 1 hour in
the mixing bowl.
3. After proong slowly, add the ingredients for the nal dough with the
paddle attachment. Mix the dough for about 2 minutes maximum. The
dough should feel sticky to the touch.
4. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the baking pan
and cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap. Shape the dough into a rectangle
and let rise at room temperature for 20 minutes.
5. Stretch and fold the dough. Fold the short end of the rectangle over each
other (away from you) then fold it to the center. Then fold the bottom of the
dough down (towards you) and fold to the center. Do the same for the
left and right side of the dough. Turn the dough over seam side down
gently and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes and
repeat the procedure three more times.
6. After the last 20 minute rest, transfer the Ciabatta to a our-dusted
universal tray. Dust the top of the dough with our. Using a dough cutter,
cut the dough lengthwise to create two long loaves. Shape the loaves
evenly. Using your rst three ngers gently make about ve rows of
indentations in the dough about ¼" deep.
7. Place in oven and select the MasterChef Plus program for Ciabatta.

Note: Wetting or oiling your hands will prevent dough from sticking to your hands.
